Gwen Stefani Heading To Super Bowl As Usher Goes Missing

Other than performing before the Super Bowl, the singer might have to take over for Usher as it seems he went missing (Not Really).  With Las Vegas hosting the Super Bowl and Apple Music helming the halftime show, it appears the new short film Where’s Usher? has the star mysteriously vanishing. While Usher really didn’t go missing, the promotional video featured Ludacris, Lil Jon, DJ Pee Wee, and even the Blue Man Group. Roaming all over Las Vegas, hoping to find Usher before the Super Bowl, the comment section exploded with anticipation as fans wrote, “I ain’t ever been So Excited for a halftime show.”
